I have a '16 White Hawk 28DSBH that's solar equipped. I have never tried to use that and though I've been in an electrical related field for many years, I never had anything to do with solar. So I'm...

My Jayco TT came with a cheap grill but I love the bumper mount. It's the type that swings out and the grill sits on 2 posts. That puts it about 18" from the trailer. Anyone got any ideas how to make...

Almost sounds like you have a poop pyramid..... Maybe you're not leaving some water in your black tank to slosh around while you're in transit. Break it up somehow and use lotsa water.....

I've heard both ways on the ice method. For me it's water and lots of it. Every time I dump I add back 4 or 5 gallons of water with a softener. I find Happy Camper works well and it's convenient....

At 75,000 miles the turbo should be warranted. It is part of the power train. Mine went at 68,000 and there was no problem with getting it replaced under warranty.

Handy or Handsome...

So... I've been RVing for about 11 years now. I'm into my 3rd and largest TT. It's been the best of the 3. I know because only this one has been back to a dealer for anything, and they only kept it 3...

One of my factory Raniers blew when I'd had the trailer (new) about 2 months. We were about 2500 miles into our first 3000 mile trip. That was 3 years and 20K miles ago. I replaced them with Carlisle...
